THE SUPREME COURT.

The great political revolution that
destroyed slavery was brought about
without the aid of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
Chief Justice and most of the AS
sociate Justices were Democrats,
and some of them slave-holders.-
Their decisions upon political ques-
tons were in conformity with the
political view of the men who re-
pealed the Missouri Compromise,
and prepared the way for secession.
One of the Associate Justices was
carried from the bench by the seces-
sion OF Louisiana. Chief Justice
fancy died in 1864; Associate
Justices Greer and Clifford, sturdy
Democrats, lived through the re-
construction period, and on all pollti-
cal questions their decisions were
against the Republicans.
Chief Justice Chase, although APP
pointed by Mr.. Lincoln, developed
into so good a Democrat that he
was talked of as the party candidate
for President in 1868. Associate
Justice Field, also appointed by Mr..
Lincoln, soon became a Democrat,
and would have accepted the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency
any time after Mr.. LincoIn's death.
Associate Justice Davis, also one of
Mr.. Lincoln's appointees, strayed
away from the party faith, and
would have been glad TO have run
for President on the Democratic
ticket, if he had been given a chance.
Chief Justice Waite, and all the
Associate Justices now on the
bench, with the exception of Judge
Field, are supposed to be Republic
cans. The death of Associate jus.
tice Woods gives President Cleye
land an opportunity to put a Demo-
GRAFT on the bench. Judge Woosls,
although a native OF Ohio, was ap-
pointed from Alabama, and no doubt
the South win claim the place.
There are lawyers in Maryland who
would do honor to the Supreme
bench. If President Cleveland

must have lovely temper, aniiable as a

came time no must be big and ugly
enough to scare off whole armies. He must
be able to ride anything from giraffe 10

100 miles at stretch, to 60 without eat

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases. especially those of the ner-
vous system. are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations Of
ten invovle an amount of mental wear and
tear very prejudicial to physical health, and
the professions, II arduously pursued, are no
less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. 1t
is one of the most important attributes of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, that it compen-
safes for this undue loss of tissue, and that it
imparts new energy to the brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which 1t renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is re-
markable, and shows that its invigorating
properties are of the highest order. Besides
the effects of mental exhaustion, this potential
medicine cures and prevents fever and ague,
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and constipa-
ton, kidney and uterine weakness and other
complaints. Physicians also recommend it as
indicated stimulant and remedy.

A KANSAS QUAIL HUNT.


A Sportsman's Experience ON Bright,
Frosty December Morning.
Seven years ago friend called on me
one bright, frosty December morning.
He had his dog and gun with him. He
wanted to hunt distant field where
quail were plentiful. I told him that my
ground was the best in the country, and
/ declined to go seven miles to shoot over
strange ground. We decided to hunt
low lying creek bottom, on which plum
bushes grew, and which was close TO
cornfelds. My friend had urgent need
for forty birds.
''Sam, said, "when forty birds are
killed we viii stop shooting" ie
''Forty grandmothers, he remarked.
81 mean it, said. 1--WE will get
them before we get through this plum
patch, - which was about quarter Of
mile long, and which lined both banks Of
the creek. crossed the creek, called
my eager dog back, pulled her ear, and
said, go ahead, and go slow She
worked steadily at slow trot. Suddenly
she turned and stood, with twisted head
and upliftsd foot and horizontal tail,
gazing into dense clump Of bushes. l
whistled warningiy to my friend, and
then flushed the birds, and missed with
both barrels. The covey was exceed
ingly large. The birds flew into an open
space of an acre, where the grass was
about a foot high, and there scattered
widely. About the same time my friends
dog, headstrong, stupid pointer, flushed
covey, and they crossed the creek and
settled in the grass, scattering widely

creek, and wished to advance at once to
the sport. s saf iYs3

don't like to say anything against your
dog. He is the best prairie chicken dog
ever saw, but he is n lunkhead ON quail.
Tie him up. Let Queen beat this grass
for US and we will get tho forty birds. y
My friend was indignant. But coaxed
him into tying his dog TO a plum bush.
We walked slowly to the grass. There
took Queens soft ear in my hand, pinched
it slightly and said: "Be careful. Go
slow" and cuffed her gently.
The intelligent dog began to beat the
ground. My friend SHOT to the right and
I TO the left. What hunt that wasl The
dog worked slowly ald beautifully. The
birds lay to her we'll Her face glowed
with pleasure. The shooting was sufh-
GENTLY brisk to keep the guns warm. The
lunkhead pointer howled his disapproval.
We shot the grass patch over in twenty
five minutes. Each marked down iis
dead birds as well as he could, and lxeps

VISITS THE CITY.

Mr. T. W. Whitlow of Boonville. His
souri,, arrived in the city yesterday morning.
For some years he has been a reader of the
EAGLE and has from a distance watched the
made extensive investments here through a
gentleman of the city, and realized from the
same handsomely. He stated last night that
he had always made money in Wichita in
vestments, but had the habit of selling too
soon, and was of the opinion that be had best
change his habits in that particular.
From his much reading of Wichita he said
he had formed some idea of the city. For
some weeks he had been working to get his
business matters in such shape as to allow
an absence of a few days. When the oppor-
tunity presented itself, he took the train for
Wichita
He was shown some of the leading features
of the metropolis yesterday and admits that
his ideal Wichita was very inferior to the
real The buildings were larger, better and
were filed with business rush that differed
very much from what he expected to find
AS result of his travels yesterday he made
some more investments and is more than
ever mashed on the city.
He will probably leave on his return trip
today and hopes to be able to make the city
q second visit in a short time.

HIS OPINION.

$50 this is Wichita" exclaimed J. F. Nc
MILAN, New York state business man to a
gentleman of the city last evening at the Of
flee of Hotel Gandolfo. "Why, sir, every
body all over the east is talking of this place
and many are making arrangements to come
in the spring. On the train l spoke to quite
a number of gentlemen in reference to west
ern cities and invariably they referred to
Wichita as the liveliest and most progress
i've. This afternoon walked out for a few
minutes and was shown the great number of
new buildings just completed and
the sites for others that will be
convinced soon. l noticed one thing in par
tlcular, and that is the fine and elegant style
of architecture that prevails in all the buisi-
ness buildings II reminds me Of Denver,
Colo, which this city, TO NE at least, some
what resembles in its growth. Sir, you
have great city, and one that has a more
brilliant future than any in the southwest

OH! HOW SAD.

A species OF the red nose variety of cur
bers yesterday became rather desperate in
his efforts TO mske sale He stalked the
streets for some hours in vain looking for a
customer. Finally he saw a lady emerge
from real estate Office and a happy thought
struck him. He introduced himself as O.
special agent for number of snaps adj
vertised Oh sign board that ornamented
one side of the door. His palaver attracted
the attention of the lady who seemed anx-
ious to make a purchase
After few minutes conversation she be-
came impatient and started down the ave-
nue.. He did not seem disposed
to avoid her company so
he walked in the same direction. Going
about half block he introduced new
bargain and again gained her attention Oh!
yes, the wind was blowing fearfully so the
two stepped into another Office Finally he
proposed to show her the property The
offer was accepted, and the brilliant agent
excused himself to get a carriage
Before his return the lady seemed to gain
some intuition on the subject and decided
that she would give that agent the g. b. As
result she left the office. In short time
the agent arrived with an elegant turnout
and aiighted as sprightly as n groom on his
wedding day. The news-Oh, how sad.

4 NEW STREET RAILWAY.
Stiff Corp Grafton OF the Heaviest Men in
Town.

As was probably noticed in yesterday
mornings EAGLE, there appeared proposed
ordinance covering charter franchises, etc,
of new street railway company for Wich-
ita The ordinance itself tells more OF the
inside of this new enterprise than can we,
and should be read and studied. The charter
for such company has been taken out with a
capital stock sufficient to cover all that Is
proposed The names of the incorporators
are a guaranty all sufficient that simply bus
mess is meant, and are as follows: g. NJ.
Dickson, N A. English, William Grieffen-
stein. W. K. Carlisle, II. G. Toier, B. II.
Campbell and J. O. Davidson. The officers
for the present year were elected as follows:
VIM. Griefenstein, president: G. N. Dickson,
e-president; w. K. Carlisle, secretary;
Geo C.. Strong, treasurer. As we understand
it, this company absorbs the electric or motor
line to be run out through Riverside and for
which the council provided at their last meet
ing. The company proposes to occupy all
available territory not occupied by the pres
ent system and to operate line up TO the
stan lard.

ton and walls will be made of sufficient
strength to carry five stories, but it will be
built four stories with a basement. The low
er rooms will be made suitable to business
rooms and the upper stories divided into
rooms suited to Off es. 1t will be made in
every respect a first-class building and sup

ing on the west side OF the lot removed and

HALF HOUR OF SUSPENSE.

Thursday night the card attachment to a
Douglas avenue joint was occupied by four
choice spirits. The blossom on each of their
noses, and the general tough appearance in
dictated that they belonged to the broken
down class of sports.
They had been playing 'freeze OUT until
the greater part of the house was dead broke
and the barkeeper refused to give credit.
Finally, a stranger entered the room and
walking up to the bar asked for drink, it
was given TO him; and while lettering around
for few minutes he entered into converse
amount of his wealth. The quartette imme-
diately pricked up their ears and mastering
courage invited the stranger to engage in a
game of cards He sat down at the table
| and after being considerably worsted in sew
eral games grew suspicious. At last
he accused one of the party of
cheating. This was taken by all the house as
an insult and fight was iminent the man
Jerked out a revolver and daring any man
to approach the door and just before open
ing it put shot through small glass above
the bar. Then standing on the threshold
warned any man to put his head out of the
door on the peril of his life for a half hour
The stranger passed out and has not been
seen since. The member of the party who
related the incident said that there was con-
siderable hesitation about leaving the room
until the full half hour had passed.

The heavy gale that struck the city YES
terday tossed the street signs around rather
carelessly. Quite number were torn loose
from their faotenings and rolled along the
street in such manner as to give the sign
painters plenty of work
One Of the lsushable scenes frequently on
exhibition was an irate gentleman making
gigantic strides, hoping to overtake his hat
travelling along the street.
Some OF the electric light circuits were
impaired by the storm a few of the lights
failed 10 do the duty assigned.
The trouble experienced by the A D. T.
office Wednesday night was hunted up YES
